T40, thanks for the update on our sorely missed Decorah family. Robin is truly their best friend! Her dedication to them is evident, and her pictures are priceless. And big thank you for the updates on D27 (LOVE that spunky gal!) and D36. So happy to see them doing well and thriving.
BL, your take on what D27 is thinking was so cute! Kind of funny how we've always been told they forget their natal nest not long after leaving, but yet they (especially D27) always seem to come so close to it, you'd swear they must be in a neighboring tree watching it! So even though it's been 4 years since she fledged, she still seems to know where she came from. It's nice to think she might end up with a family of her own in Decorah!
Lisa, Philjo, BL, T40 and STL - Thanks to all for the great pics! I can't believe a Canadian Goose was in N2B! Prime real estate for ANY winged creature, it seems.
Ginger and
T40, thanks for the video links of the goslings leap of faith! Hard to believe they don't get hurt jumping that far with no wing assistance in the landing! Cute as heck though!
